Radion XR30/15 G6 spread?

[BubblesandSqueak]

Having trouble finding what the spread is on the XR30/15 G6 spread. I think it is 24x24? Would one 30 cover a 36x36 area (IM 112 tank) or would I need two 15's?

The stated spread is 24x24 for an XR15 and 36x24 for an XR30, although this is slightly more with the new G6. If you're not planning to run a lot of SPS a single XR30 would probably give you enough coverage (otherwise you'll probably want a pair of XR15s).

I am considering the same tank for an SPS dominant reef. It looks tricky to light the 36” depth. I was planning on starting with 2 XR30 G6 or 2 ReefBreeders Photon (probably the better option).

its not 36" depth, 20". 36x36 are the bottom dimensions

That's what I meant, 36" front to back.

My tanknis 36x22x22 and I have 2 XR15 lights on a mixed reef. They are very week par lights. I run them at 100% intensity on AB program to achieve barely enough par for my mixed reef.

Running 3 XR15 G6 Blues over a IM 100EXT. All SPS system, more than enough PAR. Running the AB+ config at 85% intensity.
